Is there a configuration such that we can import all of our existing
DES-based passwords, but as people update them, to create MD5 passwords
in their place?  It appears that MD5 passwords are understood in the
lastest releases of FreeBSD even if I load up DES (which was handy),
but new passwords are then created via DES.  Or am I confused?
